Magnet Picks Up U.S. Rights to Musical Horror-Comedy 'Stage Fright'

Just over a month before its debut at SXSW, musical-horror-comedy Stage Fright has been picked up for U.S. distribution by Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia.

Magnet will release the film on its Ultra VOD platform, launching it on iTunes and on demand on April 3 ahead of a theatrical release on May 9.

Described as "Scream meets Glee," the pic centers on a starry-eyed teen who is stuck working in the kitchen of a snobby musical theater camp. Soon, however, a bloodthirsty masked killer enters from stage left and the carnage begins.
